Anti-Military Lawyer Vandalizes Marine’s Car On Eve Of Deployment
My “Official” Bashage suggestion for this puke is to flood his offices and home with phone calls, emails, faxes, etc etc and just bug the shit out of this puke. My “Unofficial” Bashage suggestion, and I’m not advocating this in any way, would be to track this punk down and key his fucking face.
Then take pictures and send them to me.
Nods to LftBhndAgn…From Blackfive.net, who asks you to spread the word:
This ought to make your blood boil. And this Marine should receive a commendation for not kicking the living crap out of the guy…seriously.
Marine Sgt Mike McNulty is on activation orders to Iraq (second tour). On December 1st, 2007, Mike went to visit a friend in Chicago before deploying to say goodbye. In order to get to his friend’s residence, and keep in mind that Chicago is a myriad of diagonal and one-way streets, the front entrance (right way) to the one-way street was blocked. Mike, being a Marine, overcame and adapted by driving around the block to the other end of the street and backing up all the way to his friend’s place.
While saying goodbye, at about 11am, he noticed a man leaning up against his car. Mike left his friend’s apartment and caught the man keying his car on multiple sides.
After caught in the process, the man told Mike, “you think you can do whatever you want with Department of Defense license plates and tags”. (In Illinois you can purchase veteran, Marine, or medal plates. Mike has Illinois Marine Corps license plates.) During the exchange, he made additional anti-military comments.
Mike called the Chicago police and had the man arrested. A citation against the man was issued for misdemeanor criminal damage to private property.
The police report (and I have copies if needed) states:
Victim related to Police Officer (P/O) that as he walked back to his vehicle, he observed the offender leaning up against his vehicle and rubbed/dragged his left arm and hand across the passenger side. As offender walked away from victim’s vehicle, victim observed a scratch along the rear trunk and passenger’s door area where offender dragged his arm and hand over. Victim and witness stopped offender and confronted him. Victim has military plates and decals on his vehicle and offender made anti war and military comments to victim. Upon P/O’s arrival to scene, offender denied scratch victim’s vehicle, but did admit to rubbing past it. Victim at this time did not sign complaint, because he is leaving tour for military duty. Offender said they accused him of scratching the car because he is Jewish. Offender’s statements/responses to P/O’s questions unreasonable.
As it turns out, the man is Chicago lawyer Jay R. Grodner, who owns a law firm in the city and has offices in the suburbs.
After sending the car to the body shop, it was determined there is $2400 in damage, making this a felony. Mike went to court Friday morning to collect the damages against Mr. Grodner and file felony charges. Though the damages are over $300 (the amount which determines felony or misdemeanor) Grodner offered Mike to pay his deductible, $100, and have Mike’s insurance pay for it.
The Illinois States Attorneys tried to coerce Mike into accepting the offer. Appalled, Mike said he wanted this to be a felony. The state told Mike that it was not worth pursuing felony damage against Grodner because they don’t have the time. In addition, the state prosecutors told him that he would never it ‘would be difficult to recover the damages’ from Grodner because he is a lawyer.
Instead, the State asked Mike if he would accept probation for Grodner. Mike accepted, probation was offered to Grodner, and Grodner declined the offer, saying within ear shot of Mike, “I’m not going to make it easy on this kid”. Mike’s next court date is tomorrow, Monday, December 31st, to pursue misdemeanor charges against Grodner.
Mike’s leave is over on January 2nd when he reports to Camp Pendleton before heading to Iraq.
Jay Grodner knows this and is going to file for a continuance until Mike is gone and cannot appear in court.
By account of the Illinois State’s Attorneys, Grodner is likely to get away with defacing Mike’s car with no penalty because, 1) Mike is about to deploy to Iraq and will not be available to appear in court, and 2) Grodner is a lawyer and can get out of this very easily.
So, does anyone have any ideas about how to proceed? All peaceful and rational ideas are welcomed. We are contacting the media about this, too.

I have an idea of what to do to this shit-bag…it is not peacful, it is not rational, and it involves a length of rubber hose and a dark alley. Also theres a pony involved.
December 30th, 2007 at 10:27 pmI have just emailed this story to EVERY attorney I know in Illinois. I know many.
If anyone can help this Marine PLEASE come forward, or forward this on to someone you think can.
Bash for posting this.
December 30th, 2007 at 10:33 pmI find it pathetically funny that lawyers get mad when people tell lawyer jokes, because they feel that it is cruel and uncalled for…
…and yet, you read this story and cannot help believing in the lawyer jokes…
Q: What is the difference between a lawyer and a carp?
December 30th, 2007 at 10:45 pmA: One is a scum sucking bottom feeder and the other is a fish…
Emails and faxes duly sent…this puke needs
:roll: 
And then some more.

December 31st, 2007 at 12:35 amInteresting that his website is down.
Here’s a little link I found about him too….
http://clr.org/Grodner-Jay.html
Don’t know how reliable ‘Citizens for Legal Responsibility’ are but there seems to be a consistent pattern with this guy.
December 31st, 2007 at 1:23 amSounds like this scumbag needs the charge of “Hate crime” levied against him. After visiting the http://clr.org/Grodner-Jay.html link left by Leatherneck, I believe Grodner is preparing to run for D-U.S. Senate. How about smearing a little Mastinox carcinogen gel on his door handles? He’ll expire within a few years………. painfully.
December 31st, 2007 at 2:49 amIs it a hate crime to hate a vet or Marine? It’s wrong, but is it a crime? Because if it it, he could get a more severe punishment.
December 31st, 2007 at 3:31 amI mean, because if it is.
December 31st, 2007 at 3:31 amAs a retired crimnal defense attorney we need to find out what courtroom the case is in and all show up there. However that might be tough seeing as this was just posted it’s 0600. I think this case maybe at branch 29 Belmont & Western, Chicago Il. I’ll try to call the clerks office this morning stating at 0830. The call starts there at 0930 the problem with this is we can’t mobilize quick enough, I’m up near Great Lakes Naval Station and it’ll take me at least an hout to get there, I’ll post if I get the info.
SEMPER FI
December 31st, 2007 at 4:33 amJust sent e-mail to state complainig to them about taking disciplinary action agianst this clown.
December 31st, 2007 at 7:03 amI got a better idea. Call the American Center For Law And Justice. They can represent him while he’s on deployment. Send them a copy of the story. Contact Info is here.
December 31st, 2007 at 7:05 amhttp://www.aclj.org/
Get the Sgt to fill out this form and call the ACLJ.
December 31st, 2007 at 7:09 amhttps://www.aclj.org/Contact/
Somebody contact Bill O`Reilly …
He lives for this kind of f-ing ass clown stories … especially when it involves kids or the military as victims.
December 31st, 2007 at 8:17 amDoes anyone know what car he drives?
December 31st, 2007 at 8:18 am“Offender said they accused him of scratching the car because he is Jewish”
He was accused of scratching the car because he’s Jewish? No……He was accused of scratching the car because he was caught “Scratching the car”. This Grodner guy is a reptile.
The “hate crime” is on your hands Mr. Grodner, not the other way around.
Semper Oy!
December 31st, 2007 at 8:28 amWhile I dispise what this guy did have a care what you say about him. There is no Better Business complaints against him and there has only been one disiplinary action taken against him despite what some links are saying. The real complaint can be found at http://www.iardc.org/rd_database/disc_decisions_detail.asp
This guy gives scum a bad name I hope he gets disbarred over this.
December 31st, 2007 at 4:21 pmDon’t hurt the guy, not with your fists. Sure it sounds like a good idea, but here is how to hurt him forever. Keep an eye on who HIRES this baby fucker. Then just blog it. Whoever hires this guy for anything in the future is just plain FUCKED. It will only take on time for a business to get that news reported in the blogsosphere with their name, phone number, CEO’s address, ect for the lovely Mr. Grodner to be unhireable forever.
I do think in all fairness, from this guys “dating page” he is a lovely man and I’d advise everyone to reads this to refer to him as “The Lovely Mr. Grodner”. Just try it. It will be much more effective than insulting the slime ball.
January 4th, 2008 at 10:37 pmMr. Grodner,
January 5th, 2008 at 10:26 amYou are such a brave man defacing an inanimate object.
Why don’t you try to deface a U.S. Marine, you maggot?
